OPERATION
BATTERY CONDITION METRE
The battery condition metre is located in front of the joystick. This
is a 10-segment illuminated display that indicates that the Remote
Plus is turned on and also gives the status of the battery, the con-
troller, and the power chair electrical system.
n
Red, yellow, and green lights lit: Battery charged; controller
and electrical system OK.
n
Red and yellow lights lit: Charge battery if possible;
controller and electrical system OK.
n
Red lights only lit or slow flash: Charge battery as soon as
possible; controller and electrical system OK.
n
Rapid flash of lights: Indicates a fault in the controller or the
electrical system. See “Trouble Codes.”
n
Ripple up and down of lights: The joystick was not in the
centre position when the controller was turned on. If you get
“ripple up and down of lights”, turn off the controller, allow the
joystick to return to the neutral position, then turn on the controller.
NOTE: If you still get ripple up and down of lights, con-
tact your authorised Pride Dealer.
NOTE: When the batteries approach a discharged state,
the first red light will begin to slowly flash, reminding you
the batteries need to be charged immediately!
SPEED SETTINGS
The Remote Plus speed settings range from 1 to 5. Typically, the
slowest speed setting is 1 and the fastest speed setting is 5. The settings are indicated by the number of lights that are lit.
NOTE: The speed settings are preset at the factory. If your authorised Pride Dealer changes the order of these
settings, please make note of these changes. Contact your authorised Pride Dealer for more information.
To select a speed setting:
1.
Press the on/off key to power on the remote.
2.
Press the mode key once.
3.
To increase chair speed, push the joystick to the right. Each time you push the joystick, you will increase the speed
setting.
4.
To decrease chair speed, push the joystick to the left. Each time you push the joystick, you decrease the speed
setting.
5.
Once you select the desired speed setting, press the mode key once to keep the setting or push the joystick in the
forward or reverse direction. The chair will resume operation at the selected speed.
NOTE: We recommend that the first few times you operate your power chair, you have your speed on the
slowest setting until you become familiar with your new power chair.
OFF-BOARD CHARGER/PROGRAMMING SOCKET
You may use an off-board charger to charge the power chair batteries through the 3-pin socket located on the front of the
controller. The socket may also be used for reprogramming the controller by using a PG Drives Programmer, should this be
necessary. If you use an off-board charger, the charger current should not exceed 12 amps. Contact your authorised Pride
Dealer for more information.
WARNING! Only chargers with Neutrik NC3MX plugs should be connected to the off-board charger/program-
ming socket. See your authorised Pride Dealer for more information.
CONTROLLER COMMUNICATIONS CABLE
The controller communications cable provides the joystick module with a connection to the power module at the back of the
power base.
